Samuel 1 1

1 Esiae nye Elkana, ŋutsu aɖe si nye Efraimtɔ eye wònɔ Ramataim Zofim le Efraim ƒe to la dzi ƒe ŋutinya. Fofoae nye Yeroham, ame si fofoe nye Elihu, ame si fofoe nye Tohu eye Tohu fofoe nye Zuf ame siwo nye Efraimtɔwo.

Waaliwo omusajja Omwefulayimu eyabeeranga e Lamasayimuzofimu, mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu, ng’ayitibwa Erukaana, nga mutabani wa Yerokamu, muzzukulu wa Eriku, muzzukulu wa Toku, muzzukulu wa Zufu.

2 Srɔ̃ eve nɔ Elkana si, ame siwo nye Hana kple Penina. Viwo nɔ Penina si ke Hana ya medzi vi o.

Yalina abakyala babiri, omu nga ye Kaana; n’omulala nga ye Penina. Penina yalina abaana, naye Kaana nga mugumba.

3 Elkana kple srɔ̃awo kple wo viwo zɔa mɔ ƒe sia ƒe yia Yehowa ƒe agbadɔ la me le Silo be woasubɔ Yehowa, ŋusẽkatãtɔ la, eye woasa vɔ nɛ. Yehowa ƒe nunɔla siwo nɔ subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔm ɣe ma ɣi woe nye Eli kple via eveawo; Hofni kple Finehas.

Buli mwaka omusajja oyo yayambukanga okuva mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe okugenda okusinza n’okuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama ow’Eggye e Siiro. Eyo Kofuni ne Finekaasi batabani ba Eri gye baawererezanga nga bakabona ba Mukama Katonda.

4 Ne ɣeyiɣi de be Elkana nasa vɔ la, aka vɔsalã la ƒe ɖe na srɔ̃a Penina kple via ŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo katã.

Awo olunaku olw’okuwaayo ssaddaaka bwe lwatuuka, Erukaana, n’awa Penina ne batabani be, ne bawala be emigabo egy’ennyama.

5 Ke enaa lã la ƒe akpa eve Hana ya elabena togbɔ be elɔ̃e hã la Yehowa tu eƒe vidzidɔ.

Naye Kaana n’amuwa emigabo ebiri kubanga yamwagala nnyo, newaakubadde nga Mukama Katonda yali tamuwadde mwana.

6 Esi wònye be Yehowa tu eƒe vidzidɔ ta la, atsusia nɔa dzigbãnyawo gblɔm ɖe eŋu be ne wòado dziku.

Era kubanga Mukama Katonda yali tamuwadde mwana, muggya we n’amucoccanga.

7 Esia yia dzi ƒe sia ƒe. Nenye be Hana yi ɖe Yehowa ƒe aƒe me la, atsusia gblɔa nya doa dziku nɛ va se ɖe esime wòwoa avi eye wògbea nuɖuɖu.

Ebyo byabangawo buli mwaka, era bwe baayambukanga okugenda mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, muggya we n’amujoogerezanga okutuusa lwe yakaabanga, n’okulya n’atalya.

8 Srɔ̃a Elkana bianɛ be, “Hana, nya kae na nèle avi fam? Nu ka ŋuti nègbe nuɖuɖu? Nu ka ŋuti nèle nu xam ale? Ɖe nyamewu viŋutsu ewo na wò oa?”

Bba Erukaana n’amubuuza nti, “Kaana, okaabiranga ki? Lwaki tolya? Kiki ekikweraliikiriza? Nze sikusingira abaana ekkumi?”

9 Gbe ɖeka le Silo, esi woɖu nu, no nu vɔ la, Hana yi Agbadɔ la me, nunɔla Eli nɔ anyi ɖe eƒe teƒe le Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.

Lwali lumu bwe baali bamaze okulya n’okunywa e Siiro, Eri yali atudde ku ntebe okumpi n’omulyango gwa yeekaalu, Kaana n’asituka n’agenda mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.

10 Hana nɔ nu xam vevie, nɔ avi fam le esime wònɔ gbe dom ɖa na Yehowa

Mu kulumwa olw’ennaku ennyingi ennyo, n’akaaba nnyo amaziga ng’asaba Mukama Katonda.

11 eye wòɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa be, “O Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, ne àkpɔ wò dɔla ƒe nublanuitɔnyenye dzi ɖa, aɖo ŋku dzinye eye màŋlɔ wò dɔla be o, ke boŋ nànae viŋutsu la, ekema matsɔe na Yehowa le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me eye talũhɛ maka eƒe ta ŋu o.”

Ne yeeyama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Mukama Ayinzabyonna, bw’olitunuulira ennaku ey’omuweereza wo, n’onzijukira, n’ompa omwana owoobulenzi, ndimuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe nga muwonge, era enviiri ze teziimwebwengako.”

12 Esime Hana nɔ gbe dom ɖa na Yehowa la, Eli nɔ ŋku lém ɖe eƒe nuyiwo ŋu.

Awo Kaana bwe yeeyongera okusaba ennyo eri Mukama Katonda, Eri ne yeekaliriza akamwa ke.

13 Hana do gbea ɖa le eƒe dzi me, eƒe nuyiwo nɔ ʋaʋãm butubutu gake eƒe gbe meɖi wose o, eya ta Eli bu be ahae wòmu.

Kaana yali asaba mu kasirise, ng’emimwa gye ginyeenya, naye nga eddoboozi lye teriwulikika. Eri n’alowooza nti atamidde.

14 Ale Eli biae be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nàmu aha? Na wain la nakɔ le mo na wò.”

Eri kyeyava amugamba nti, “Olikomya ddi okujjanga wano ng’otamidde? Ggyawo ettamiiro lyo.”

15 Hana ɖo eŋu gblɔ be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ, nyɔnu si ƒe dzi le nu xam lae menye. Nyemenoa wain alo aha sesẽ o; ke boŋ nye dzimenuxaxa ko ɖem mele ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.

Naye Kaana n’amuddamu nti, “Si bwe kiri mukama wange; nze ndi mukazi ajjudde ennaku. Sinnanywa ku wayini newaakubadde ekitamiiza ekirala; mbadde nkaabira Mukama Katonda mu mmeeme yange.

16 Mègabu wò dɔlanyɔnu vɔ̃ɖi o. Nye xaxawo tae mele gbe dom ɖa le afi sia le nuxaxa blibo me.”

Omuweereza wo tomulowooza okuba omukazi ow’ekyejjo, kubanga mbadde nsindira Mukama ennaku n’obuyinike bwange.”

17 Eli gblɔ be, “Heyi le ŋutifafa me eye Israel ƒe Mawu la nana nu si nèbiae la wò!”

Awo Eri n’amuddamu nti, “Genda mirembe. Katonda wa Isirayiri akuwe ekyo ky’omusabye.”

18 Hana gblɔ be, “Na wò dɔla nakpɔ amenuveve le gbɔwò.” Ale wòlé eƒe mɔ tsɔ eye wòdi nane ɖu, ale be megato mo azɔ o.

N’ayogera nti, “Omuweereza wo alabe ekisa mu maaso go.” Oluvannyuma ne yeetambulira, n’alya ku mmere, n’atandika okutunula n’essanyu.

19 Ƒome blibo la fɔ ŋdi kanya heyi ɖasubɔ Yehowa le Agbadɔ la me eye wotrɔ yi woƒe aƒe me le Rama. Elkana dɔ srɔ̃a Hana gbɔ eye Yehowa ɖo ŋku Hana dzi.

Awo Erukaana n’ab’ewuwe ne bagolokoka enkeera mu makya ne basinza Mukama, n’oluvannyuma ne baddayo ewaabwe e Laama. Ne yeetaba ne mukazi we Kaana, Mukama Katonda n’amujjukira.

20 Ale le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Hana fɔ fu, dzi viŋutsu eye wòna ŋkɔe be Samuel elabena egblɔ be, “Yehowa si mee mebiae le.”

Kaana n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana wabulenzi. N’amutuuma erinnya Samwiri, amakulu gaalyo, “Kubanga namusaba Mukama Katonda.”

21 Esi ƒe trɔ la, Elkana kple eƒe ƒometɔwo katã gawɔ mɔzɔzɔ si wowɔna ƒe sia ƒe heyi ɖe Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ la me be wòaxe eƒe adzɔgbeɖefe.

Awo Erukaana n’ayambuka n’ab’ennyumba ye okugenda okuwaayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda n’okutuukiriza obweyamo bwe.

22 Ke Hana meyi o. Egblɔ na srɔ̃a be, “Malala va se ɖe esime ɖevi la dzudzɔ nonono ekema makplɔe ayi na Yehowa eye wòanɔ afi ma ɖaa.”

Naye Kaana teyagenda nabo. N’agamba bba nti, “Omwana bw’aliva ku mabeere, ndimutwala ne mulagayo eri Mukama Katonda, era alibeera eyo ennaku ze zonna.”

23 Elkana lɔ̃ ɖe edzi hegblɔ be, “Enyo; wɔ nu sia nu si nèkpɔ be edze. Woawɔ Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu.” Ale Hana nɔ aƒe me va se ɖe esime Samuel dzudzɔ nonono.

Erukaana n’amuddamu nti, “Kola nga bw’osiima. Linda okutuusa lw’olimala okumuggya ku mabeere; Mukama Katonda atuukirize ekigambo kye.” Awo omukyala n’asigala eka, n’alabirira omwana okutuusa lwe yava ku mabeere.

24 Esi wòtso no na ɖevia la, ekplɔ ɖevi la, togbɔ be metsi o hã la, etsɔ nyitsu si xɔ ƒe etɔ̃, wɔ lita blaeve-vɔ-eve kple wainlãgbalẽgolo ɖeka kpe ɖe eŋuti eye wòkplɔe va Yehowa ƒe aƒe me le Silo.

Bwe yava ku mabeere, n’amutwala mu yeekaalu ya Mukama Katonda e Siiro ng’akyali muto; ne batwala ente ssatu ennume, n’endebe ey’obutta, n’eccupa y’envinnyo.

25 Le vɔsa la megbe la, wokplɔ ɖevi la yi Eli gbɔ.

Bwe baamala okusala emu ku nte, ne batwala omwana eri Eri.

26 Hana bia Eli be, “Nye aƒetɔ, èɖo ŋku dzinyea? Nyee nye nyɔnu si tsi tsitre ɖe afi sia ɣe aɖe ɣi henɔ gbe dom ɖa na Yehowa.

Kaana n’ayogera nti, “Nga bw’oli omulamu mukama wange, nze mukyala oli eyayimirira okumpi naawe, ne nsaba Mukama Katonda.

27 Meɖe kuku nɛ be wòana ɖevi siam eye wòna nu si mebiae lam.

Namusaba omwana ono, era Mukama Katonda ampadde kye namusaba.

28 Eya ta mele ɖevi la tsɔm na Yehowa azɔ le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.” Ale Hana gblẽ ɖevia ɖe afi ma le Agbadɔ la me na Yehowa.

Kaakano mmuwaayo eri Mukama, era obulamu bwe bwonna aweereddwayo eri Mukama Katonda.” Omwana n’asinzizanga Mukama Katonda eyo.
